Importing directories and files from outside DevOps Code ClearCase version control

If you have a large number of files and directories that you want to place under DevOps Code ClearCase® version control, you can speed the process by using the clearexport and clearimport command-line utilities. These utilities allow you to migrate an existing set of directories and files to a DevOps Code ClearCase repository from another version control software system, such as SourceSafe, RCS, or PVCS. You have the following options:

• Migrate source files directly into a component.
• Use clearexport and clearimport on VOBs, and then convert the VOBs to components.
• Migrate directories and flat files that are not currently under any version control.

  Use the clearfsimport command-line utility. Run clearfsimport from within a UCM view to import directories and files directly onto a stream. You can then create a baseline in the stream without having to label the versions. See the clearfsimport reference page for details.

• On Windows® systems, use the Import Wizard, a graphic user interface (GUI) that you can use as an alternative to the clearexport and clearimport commands.
